Financier (bbw)

The financial economist (bbw) is a financial economics degree that is checked by the educational institute of the Berlin-Brandenburg economy, bbw-Akademie Berlin, at eight federal German examination locations to become a financial economist (bbw) . In contrast to a graduate finance economist (FH) or finance economist, tax knowledge is imparted marginally and cannot be compared with their qualifications.

The framework plan includes 330 lessons in six examination subjects and is designed for private customer-oriented financial advice. It was tested for the first time in 1994 and, with more than 10,000 participants by 2004, is the most widespread qualification among independent financial advisors and brokers in Germany.

The Finanzwirt (bbw) is the original version of the public law degrees established in 1997 as a specialist in financial services and specialist in financial advice . At the same time, it corresponds to the basic part of the European-oriented Master's Consultant in Finance degree , which is also tested by the bbw Academy in Germany .

It is organized as part of part-time exams (credits), while the IHK qualification of the same content as a specialist in financial services must be passed in a final exam lasting several days.
